· 2026-02-16T18:59:53+00:00Hearing a few whispers that people think we’re close to the bottom without another FTX event happening. People forget that in the summer of 2022, BTC was trading at $20k even before the FTX collapse. What caused us to trade at $20k in the summer of 2022? A few things: firstly
· 2026-02-16T17:01:07+00:00I really miss trading on FTX, man. The clean mobile UI, the liquidation engine, the ability to use unrealized PnL as collateral… It was simply perfect. It hasn’t been this easy to hit win rates like this on any other exchange since.
· 2026-02-16T19:04:27+00:00During the first sharp leg down in NOV 2025, the market absorbed heavy sell pressure aggressively, similar to the post-LUNA & FTX crash responses. The recent drop to $60k did see some accumulation, but it was notably weaker than the NOV 2025 bounce or the reflexive demand seen

· 2026-02-16T06:05:44+00:00There are few founders as amazing as @armaniferrante He didn't let FTX failure stop him First set up best NFT to date, @MadLads from 6.9 SOL mint (when @solana was under $20). Then the multiple airdrops worth multiple times over since. Not counting potentially huge from
· 2026-02-16T16:11:26+00:00Living legend is cooking. @armaniferrante 's story is basically crypto on hardcore mode: FTX collapse, then the FTX EU acquisition and customer refunds. So what happens when someone who lived through that decides to build an exchange for real? He’s said the FTX fallout taught him
· 2026-02-16T03:22:39+00:00I got totally destroyed in the last bear market after FTX, Luna, and so on. I was one of those who got debanked. Currently embroiled as a creditor in the Safemoon bankruptcy and it is no fun! (p.s. - I won't get a penny back I bet). I've been in this space long enough to watch
· 2026-02-16T06:27:07+00:00Not even the collapse of FTX could stop @armaniferrante . If anything, it made him stronger. IMO, outside of @VitalikButerin , @chameleon_jeff , and @toly , few in crypto embody the real builder mindset like Armani. He is my favorite. Outside of @MadLads , the PFP NFT scene feels

· 2026-02-16T04:56:40+00:00In another timeline, FTX didn’t collapse and crypto is way past all time highs while the s&p is barely keeping up.
· 2026-02-16T17:45:08+00:00@FabianoSolana got rugged by FTX while working there, kept building, then bought FTX EU and refunded customers.. the full circle on that story is genuinely insane..
